Wrong Fuel in Car Bracken Bank - Petrol in Diesel Car Bracken Bank
It was around 8 pm on a Friday and even though we were guaranteed a dry night, it had not stopped raining! Dan and I were resting commenting on the weekend's rugby, at the ready for the next call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage and put petrol in a diesel Bracken Bank rental by mistake. She was very agitated apparently, saying "I cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that these things regrettably often happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe spot and, because it was just a short distance away from where we were, we were able to arrive at the lady right away. The bad fuel was taken out so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got really drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home satisfied and not so worried. Another fuel drain well done in my mind!
Indicators of wrong fuel
the symptoms of wrong fuel are quite evident, but in most instances you might not be able to observe all of them. In the event your engine starts sputtering, or if you start seeing a lot of smoke coming out of the exhaust, or if your car starts losing power no matter how much you press the accelerator, or if your car comes to a halt, then you can suspect that you have put the wrong fuel in your car.
That experience of refilling your tank with the wrong fuel would teach a harsh lesson to be careful in the future. You may come back to think what caused the wrong fuel problem in the first place.
- You are in a hurry and confused on what precisely to do
- Out of concentration because you are on autopilot
- Being in a vehicle you aren't used to - borrowing or hiring a car
You should also bear in mind that incorrect fuel is not the only problem that can cause your vehicle to show the above signs. The presence of water in fuel is another problem which can make your car not run smoothly and eventually stop, no matter the type of fuel used. This means that if you encounter any of the previously mentioned signs, they could also be a result of either of the two.
The incorrect filling of AdBlue is another thing which can cause your vehicle to exhibit signs such as sputtering, release of a lot of smoke and even stoppage. However, we are always prepared to assist you. The wrong ratio of this fuel additive which is used to boost the working of the engine can result from being added directly along with fuel instead of using its own automatic dosing system and tank. If you are not aware of this, you can easily make a mistake resulting in a wrong filling of AdBlue and the above symptoms. But once again, we have got you covered for our mechanics can resolve the problem regardless of whether it is incorrect fuel that got you stuck or wrong usage of AdBlue.

- Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
- A lot of smoke (more than usual)
- Engine coughing or starting to splutter
- Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
